Vaccination Sample Letter For Physicians



Dear [Doctor],

As you are no doubt aware, each year on average over 40,000 people die from vaccine-preventable influenza and pneumonia in the U.S., despite the availability of effective vaccines. Some 50-80% of these deaths—most of which occur in persons 65 years of age and older—could be averted with vaccination.

In an effort to improve immunization coverage rates, we have set an immunization goal of 90% or better among residents and employees in our facility. Enclosed is our guideline for immunization at _______________.

Getting vaccinated will provide a safe environment for both residents and employees. We seek your support and ask that you get vaccinated as well as encourage family members to get immunized.

Thank you, as always, for making a difference.

Sincerely,

[Name]
